It's this that bothers me most. Put on a lower gearing=spin even more ridiculously down the other side. Tho I suppose as it'd be a social ride rather than a `club' ride people wouldn't mind waiting for me to gingerly pick my way down the descents?!
I used to run 42x16 and have to say there was never a hill I encountered that I couldn't get up comfortably. I've gone up some steep stuff on my current gearing and it just destroys your legs for the rest of the ride.
I could of course try option 2..
